Its been a well known fact amongst the Airlines that Bmi crews get a good deal out of their Crewing Dept, advanced rosters for one (albeit they change). Its also a well known fact they struggled finding a system that could cope with their operation. Multiple aircraft, bases etc. As Big T said, once those rosters get changed to plan B,then get changed back to plan A its very difficult to go back to square one.
I think sometimes they miss "experience",its also well known that the Crewing Management structure is extremely young, and consists of people that only know the Bmi way. Thats not to say there is anything wrong with that, but Bmi have always struggled to bring experience in as the wages are not brilliant, and any experience has to start at the bottom of the ladder.If you compare this to other Airlines, some movement does take place. Monarch Staff to Brits,Brits to Easy?,Air 2 to JMC and so on.
At the end of the day the real reason why Crewing get a bad press from Bmi crews is they have to work harder than most, and we all know what crews think about working hard.....
